At Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, our Sclerotherapy treatment is a trusted, non-surgical solution for eliminating spider veins and small varicose veins that appear just beneath the surface of the skin. Most commonly seen on the legs, thighs, and ankles, these veins can be both a cosmetic concern and a source of discomfort. With Sclerotherapy, we help you restore smoother, clearer, and more confident skin—without surgery or significant downtime.
This minimally invasive treatment involves injecting a sclerosing solution directly into the problematic vein, causing it to collapse and fade over time. The blood is naturally rerouted through healthier veins, and the treated vein is gradually reabsorbed by the body.

Whether you’re preparing for warmer weather, a vacation, or simply want to feel more confident in shorts or dresses, Sclerotherapy is an effective way to enhance the look and comfort of your legs.
Sclerotherapy at Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness is more than just a cosmetic procedure—it’s a safe and proven method to improve both the appearance and comfort of your legs. Clients who choose this treatment often experience significant improvements in their skin’s appearance, physical comfort, and overall confidence.
Whether you’re dealing with visible spider veins or the discomfort of small varicose veins, this minimally invasive treatment can make a noticeable difference in just a few sessions.
✅ Visible Reduction of Spider and Varicose Veins
The primary goal of Sclerotherapy is to fade unsightly veins that appear on the legs, ankles, or thighs. The injected solution causes treated veins to collapse and gradually disappear from view, leaving behind smoother and more even-toned skin.
✅ Improved Skin Appearance and Confidence
Many clients feel self-conscious about visible veins, especially when wearing shorts, dresses, or swimsuits. Sclerotherapy enhances your skin’s appearance, allowing you to feel more confident and comfortable in your body.
✅ Relief from Aching, Swelling, or Cramping
While Sclerotherapy is often performed for cosmetic reasons, it also helps reduce physical symptoms caused by dysfunctional veins—such as aching, heaviness, swelling, or cramping in the legs.
✅ Minimally Invasive with Little to No Downtime
This treatment is performed right in our office without the need for anesthesia or surgery. You can resume most normal activities the same day, making it ideal for busy schedules.
✅ Boosted Circulation and Vascular Health
By removing problematic veins, blood flow is naturally redirected through healthier pathways, improving overall circulation and helping to prevent future vein issues.
✅ Quick and Convenient Sessions
Each session typically takes 30 minutes or less, depending on the number of veins being treated. It’s a fast and effective treatment that fits easily into your routine.
– Long-lasting cosmetic improvements
– Therapeutic relief from leg discomfort
– No need for compression surgery or invasive recovery

We understand that you may have questions before booking your Sclerotherapy appointment. Below are the most common questions we receive at Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, answered with your comfort and confidence in mind:
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment used to eliminate spider veins and small varicose veins. A specialized solution—called a sclerosant—is injected directly into the targeted vein, causing the vein walls to swell, stick together, and eventually collapse. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated vein, and the visible appearance fades away.
Most clients report minimal discomfort during Sclerotherapy. You may feel a slight pinch or burning sensation at the injection site, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. We use fine needles and gentle techniques to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
The number of sessions depends on the extent and size of your veins, as well as how your body responds to the treatment. While some clients see noticeable improvement after just one session, others may require 2 to 4 treatments for optimal results. During your consultation, we’ll create a customized treatment plan for you.
Sclerotherapy is a safe procedure with minimal side effects. Common, temporary reactions may include:
– Mild redness or swelling at the injection site
– Bruising
– Small raised areas that resolve within days
– Temporary darkening of the treated vein
These side effects usually fade within a week or two. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a trained professional.
Ideal candidates for Sclerotherapy are:
– Adults with visible spider veins or small varicose veins
– Individuals in good overall health
– Those not pregnant or breastfeeding
– People looking to improve cosmetic appearance or relieve minor leg discomfort
We’ll assess your medical history and skin condition during your consultation to ensure this treatment is right for you.
To get the best results, we recommend avoiding the following for at least 48 hours post-treatment:
– Strenuous exercise
– Prolonged sun exposure or tanning
– Hot baths or saunas
– Tight clothing around the treatment area
You’ll be given clear aftercare instructions tailored to your skin and lifestyle.
Most clients begin to see improvements within 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the size of the veins and how quickly your body absorbs them. Larger veins may take several months to fully disappear. Consistency and following aftercare instructions can help speed up the healing process.
Yes—wearing compression stockings is strongly recommended after treatment. Compression helps reduce swelling, improves blood flow, and enhances treatment results. We’ll advise you on the best type and how long to wear them based on your specific needs.
Treated veins will not return; however, new veins may form over time due to genetics, aging, or lifestyle factors. Regular maintenance treatments and healthy circulation habits can help keep your skin clear of visible veins long term.
Yes—Sclerotherapy is safe and effective for all skin types and complexions. We take special care to tailor your treatment plan based on your skin’s specific needs to minimize any risk of pigmentation changes or irritation.
At Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, we believe in transparency and comfort throughout every stage of your aesthetic journey. Our Sclerotherapy treatment is straightforward, efficient, and performed by experienced professionals who specialize in cosmetic vein reduction. Here’s a detailed look at what you can expect during your Sclerotherapy session:
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation to discuss your concerns, medical history, and aesthetic goals. Our trained providers will examine the areas affected by spider veins or small varicose veins and determine the best treatment approach based on your skin type, vein patterns, and health background.
Before the injections begin, the treatment area—usually the legs or thighs—is gently cleansed and sanitized to remove any lotions, oils, or impurities. Your provider may also mark visible veins with a surgical pen to ensure precise targeting of each injection site.
Using an ultra-fine needle, your provider will carefully inject a sclerosant solution directly into the problem veins. This solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to collapse, stick together, and eventually fade from view. You may feel a mild stinging or tingling sensation during this step, which is brief and typically well-tolerated.
– Most appointments last 20–30 minutes
– Several veins can be treated in a single session
– Minimal discomfort, no anesthesia required
Once your session is complete, we’ll apply compression bandages or stockings to help reduce swelling, improve blood circulation, and support the healing process. You’ll also receive detailed aftercare instructions, including activity limitations, skincare tips, and how to wear your compression garments for optimal results.
Depending on the extent of your veins and your body’s response, you may need additional sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Our team will guide you through a custom treatment plan, ensuring each visit brings you closer to your desired outcome.
– You’ll be able to walk immediately after your session
– Most clients return to normal daily activities the same day
– Results gradually appear over 3 to 6 weeks, with continued improvement over time
At Rio Glow, our goal is to make every step of the Sclerotherapy process safe, comfortable, and effective, leaving you with legs that look and feel beautiful. Whether it’s your first time or you’re seeking maintenance treatments, we’re here to support your journey to clearer skin.
| Treatment | Invasiveness | Best For | Downtime | Unique Feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sclerotherapy | Minimally invasive | Spider veins & small varicose veins | Minimal | Injects solution to collapse veins |
| Laser Vein Removal | Non-invasive | Facial veins & very small spider veins | None | Uses light to target hemoglobin |

After your Sclerotherapy treatment at Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, following proper post-care guidelines is essential to achieve the best results and ensure a smooth recovery. While this procedure is minimally invasive, your skin and veins still need time to heal. By taking a few simple steps at home, you can support the healing process and maximize the effectiveness of your treatment.
🧦 Wear Compression Stockings
Wearing compression socks or garments for several days after treatment helps promote healthy circulation, reduce swelling, and improve overall results by keeping the treated veins compressed and closed.
🚿 Avoid Hot Baths, Saunas, and Prolonged Sun Exposure
For at least 48 hours post-treatment, avoid high heat and UV exposure, as these can dilate blood vessels, interfere with healing, and increase the risk of skin irritation or pigmentation.
🚶 Walk Daily
Light activity like walking helps encourage blood flow and supports vein recovery. It’s recommended to walk for at least 15–30 minutes daily after your procedure.
🏋️ Avoid Strenuous Exercise
Refrain from heavy lifting, high-impact workouts, or long periods of standing for the first 3–5 days following treatment. These activities can place unnecessary pressure on healing veins.
💧 Stay Hydrated and Avoid Alcohol
Drinking plenty of water aids circulation and recovery. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours post-treatment, as it may cause blood vessels to dilate and increase bruising.
💜 Monitor for Mild Bruising or Swelling
It’s normal to experience temporary redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. These typically resolve within a week and are a natural part of the healing process.
– Vein Support Supplements
Supplements that contain horse chestnut, butcher’s broom, or bioflavonoids may help support vein strength and circulation. Always check with your provider before use.
– Arnica Gel or Cream
A natural remedy to help reduce bruising and inflammation. Apply a thin layer to treated areas as directed by your specialist.
– Gentle, Non-Scented Moisturizers
Hydrating your skin with a fragrance-free moisturizer can soothe any dryness or sensitivity post-treatment, especially in the days following your session.
By following these simple yet important tips, you’ll help your skin heal beautifully and enhance your Sclerotherapy results. If you ever have questions or concerns during your recovery, the team at Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness is just a call or message away.
